Digital BW, The Print

It's entirely possible to get truely exhibition quality prints with that printer, those inks, and 
that RIP. And with todays best papers...? Off 'da hook baby!

And you can print big, black and beautiful, but it'll cost ya!

Personally, I'm using the slightly newer (though not necessarily better) "3D" inks, and the 
blacks I've been able to achieve are as good (if not better) as the blacks I was getting with 
Gallerie in the fume room. Truely rich, velvety, blacks are totally doable!

Now HAVE at it!
